H&M will open a location in Westgate Mall, according to Spartanburg Economic Development Director Patty Bock.

This will be the fourth location in South Carolina. The clothing and accessories store has two locations in Charleston and one in Myrtle Beach.

H&M is known for its affordable and fashionable merchandise for teenagers and adults.

"H&M should be a catalyst to draw in other retailers that have success following H&M at new locations, and since this is the only one in the region, this H&M should provide a fairly large draw. When shoppers choose to come to Westgate to visit H&M they will likely shop other stores, eat locally, purchase gasoline, etc. It is a solid gain," Bock said.
